The annual tennis - health spa - drinking party with high school classmates (2)
Next up was a local Kanagawa sake, Shonan (Kumazawa Shuzo, like Tensei), but I've never had it before, so I went with this one.
Overall, it's a refreshing sake.
A little sweetness in it, rice-like?
And as I drank it, I could taste a little sourness?
It was a fairly large restaurant, and we were sitting in a tatami room, so I asked the waiter, "Excuse me, if you don't mind, can I ask you to bring a bottle and take a picture of it?" He said yes!
The brother who brought it to me said, "You come here often, don't you?" "He asked me for a bottle before, and I brought it to him. I remembered you as a person who likes to drink" 😱.
I was told that I was marked as a troublesome customer 😅.
Good evening, Takashi 😃.
I guess it's rare for people to go out of their way to take pictures of sake bottles, even if it's a normal thing in the sakéwa world 😆.
I've never seen Shonan before! You are right to take a picture👍.
Thank you Jay & Nobby 😊.
I'm tempted to take a picture of the liquor bottles when I drink 😙.
I guess it's rare in the world😅.
Thanks to the waiter for going out of his way to bring it to me 🙇.
But I will continue to do so 🤣.
So thick!
I was surprised at how deep and packed the flavor was. Is the golden color a concentrated color?
I have never drunk much, but it makes me wonder if this is what aged sake is like.
I read that it was light and dry, but maybe my tongue is a bit strange...?
Today we have a sparkling sake from Chigasaki, Shonan, where athletes ran in the Hakone Ekiden (relay race) 🍶.
It is a fruity and sweet sake with a low alcohol content of 10% and a gaseous taste that is easy to drink.
Does it taste similar to Mio or Suzune?
It might be good for a toast!
I watch the Hakone Ekiden every year and couldn't watch today due to work, but Aogaku was strong again this year 👏👏👏.
